Abstract
Child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church is a problem of great dimensions and universal scope. The model of restorative transitional justice allows an adequate approach, given the limitations of the criminal justice system to respond to the needs and rights of victims. Some institutional responses adopted in various countries are close to the aforementioned model, although the effectiveness of the special bodies or procedures requires changes in attitude on the part of the Church and a commitment from the institutions with restorative principles. The experience of the Belgian Arbitration Center, despite certain limitations, is a good reference for other countries in which the response to victims' demands for justice is still a pending issue.
